six months after the shooting incident killed detectives Jason
Rivera and Wilbert Mora, the NYPD Blue Chips and New York Dominican Officers
Organization honored them with their own inaugural basketball tournament.
Tomorrow
will be exactly six months since the two detectives were shot in
Harlem.
The
tournament is similar to the NCAA’s March Madness, with contests such as
dunking, 3-point shooting, and half-court shots. Every precinct has two kids
representing it in the tournament.
The
winning teams take home the trophies and get a chance to play a game against
the police.
Members
of the NYPD say this event is something they plan to hold every year in honor
of the fallen detectives.
